Compare finishes side by side

Choose two to four finishes. A finish is always approved on a physical sample of your metal, so ask for samples of the ones you like.

How it looks	Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground.	Fully reflective.	A non-directional swirled grain that scatters light.	A fine unidirectional grain.
Metals	Brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass, copper, bronze	Stainless steel, brass	Stainless steel, brass, aluminium
Where it suits	Indoors	Indoors	Indoors and outdoors	Indoors and outdoors
Worth knowing	Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole.	Shows every fingerprint and every scratch, so it belongs where it will be looked at and not handled.	Hard to carry cleanly around a tight curve, so it suits flat and gently formed panels.	A scratch across the grain is visible from a distance.
Looking after it	Lacquered, it is simply wiped.	A soft dry cloth for dust and a damp one for marks — never anything abrasive, which scratches a mirror surface permanently.	Wipe in any direction — there is no grain to respect, which is why it hides scuffs better than any other polished surface.	Wipe along the grain, never across it, with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
